Letter: Who lost the peace?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I congratulate Gerry Adams and David Trimble on their principled stand over the last few weeks and their refusal to give in to the dark forces of pragmatism.
Gerry Adams has bravely stuck to his guns in refusing to compromise on the letter of the Good Friday Agreement with respect to decomissioning. David Trimble has refused to make his leap in the dark and get into bed with a terrorist organisation.
I can only wish that the organisation distributing Nobel peace prizes had made the same principled stand as these two honourable men instead of encouraging dangerous and fanciful notions of a democratic and trouble- free future.
